@SaSSolino have you played a good Amy yet? After playing one pre patch I can’t believe she got buffed. Once she gets roses the character is absolutely nuts. I ate a 1B LH and it did 100 damage for no bar. At least she requires a pretty hefty amount of skill to play in this game, kind of like Raphael. Just with decision making on what tool to use in which situation rather than straight up execution like Raph.
I've only played once since the last patch, so not really.

She’s like the opposite of 2B, everyone cried that 2B was OP on release and it turned out she was pretty unsafe and weak.

People acted like Amy was weak or not very good and the longer we go past her release the stronger she gets as people figure out her options and optimal combos.
 
Oh I forgot I was gonna comment on the soundtracks a couple days ago

Call me optimistic but I think that them releasing just SCII and SCIII soundtracks is a good sign that Season 2 is on the way.
Because if S2 wasn't, If it was just a plan that fell apart, they would've just released SCII+III+IV+V in one shot. But if S2 is happening then they're probably saving up IV, V and that F2P game for S2 soundtrack.

It's a reach, I'll admit that but I've been wondering this as soon as they released those soundtracks.

I can’t believe Tira isn’t at least a freak lmao
Tira was controversial to say the least, probably only second to Mitsurugi and Astaroth. Some wanted her in S, others in A-.

At the end I think she ended up in a good spot since she is still above someone that dresses up like a dominatrix and stomps on people during fights to the death and someone that apologizes while she literally stabs you. I mean the bar was set pretty damn high.

You have fair points and I accept your judgement now. She’s definitely not nearly as much of a freak as Voldo and Yoshi.

Just got back into this game and OH MY SWEET GURKENS they buffed my character! YEEEEEEEE! Well....more like they balanced her cuz she got some nerfs too that im not too fond of but im not pressed about it. Mina is my gurl and this patch (with RIGHTEOUS music) brought quality of life into this game!

So from this patch, who got stupid crazy good and who got nerfed hard ?Question mark?

Siegfried got buffed somehow. aGa is fucking +2 now. Tira got buffed as well. I don’t think anyone is dumb this patch, maybe Amy will be as the game’s lifespan goes on since she got buffed for some reason despite being top 10.

Sieg got hella buffed in the patch right around when you stopped playing, when they nerfed GIs and RE into the ground initially. He and Ivy are pretty terrifying right now. Most people thought he would get nerfed instead of buffed.

Ivy is another terror who's gotten WORST to deal with. When da fuck did her reach EXTENDED on damn near all her attacks!? My GAWD that bitch seems faster and more reach! I will definitely stream more SC6 because the game needs more recognition. Its a shame its always being treated like a bastard step child when the game is STILL amazingly fun to play, and is a great game overall.

A lot of it is on Namco refusing to even shout out the game’s tournaments, let alone something like giving it a pro tour. It’s a hype game and the number of entrants is good. Dragon even expressed interest in playing in a pro tour. Hopefully the game gets more support over time.

It sucks they dont care SC6 as much as Tekken.....like at ALL it seems when it comes to the competitive scene. But I will say this, my game has leveled up literally and mentally! And I just had the MOST INTENSE match last night against a CaS Ivy. Yeah, i know....CaS is still a whack ass thing, BUT this Ivy was pretty good and ill upload the video later.

Im ready to take my skills to the next level and really train because Im for sure competing in this game at EVO :D

It’s a shame because T7 AND SC6 are both super hype games right now. I really hope SC6 starts to build up hype like T7 has over time. The players are very good and entertaining. The game needs more patches, but what game doesn’t? The balance is getting better slowly with every patch, I hope they keep fixing wonky hitbox issues. Although it’s not like MK11 isn’t also full of whack hitboxes.

Speaking of wonky hitboxes, I was playing Mina against Astroth and UP CLOSE my attacks were whiffing! Like WTF! The biggest body in the game and my weapon was going right through him. Yeah....that shit needs to be fixed, but other than that Im actually having way more fun with this game STILL than MK11 currently.

Even though Ivy is more fucking busted than ever, I find it a very fun challenge facing her with my Mina. It teaches me patience and when to snipe.

OH and I LOVE how they nerfed Mina's 1B (You're Open) attack because technically its a buff. Even though it has less ring out potential, the opponent stays in the same spot and I can just snipe that ass over and over and OVER on wakeup! I be hitting higher level Ivy players 3 times in a ROW and half their life is gone! OH MY SWEET GURKENS that shit is beautiful ;)

Mi-Na probably does better vs. Ivy than a lot of characters, but I’m pretty sure the Mi-Na players have always considered it either a 4.5-5.5 or a 4-6 in Ivy’s favor. As for Astaroth, he and Raphael have like the most fucked up hurtboxes in the game, so many character specific combos just do not work on them.
